2. Radio Operators Permit required
Is this something I get through the company once I'm hired?
3. 1st class medical
I can't start work until March '14 so I'd rather not waste the money on it until I need it. Currently I've got the mil equiv. 3rd class medical. Do I need the 1st class medical for the application, the interview, or to begin the job?
There are some other requirements that I assumed the company would do once they hire somebody which I didn't list. Any words on these 3?
1. Just get it.
2.

3. See 1. If you are under 40 it is good for a year. Check with locals who they use.
Now is always better than later.
